    I don't understand, how the fuck can Edgar get robbed twice like that? Do the UFC want Henderson to win or something? Is he more popular?

    I respec Edgar heart and skills but to me, his style is cancer for the eyes. And I doubt I'm alone as I'm pretty sure his ppv numbers aren't that good

    He is much more entertaining to watch than most... His speed and movement v henderson was impressive..granted he ain't no Anderson silva but I enjoy his fights

    Exactly. He fights negatively. The judges will give the aggressor the round if it's close which most of the rounds were. I thought the only clear rounds were the first and the last. Henderson winning the first and Frankie winning the last. The 3 middle rounds were close, neither guy did enough to clearly win the rounds.

    To be honest, Edgar has got a couple decision I thought he lost and I don't feel bad for him what so ever. It was a close fight.

    edgar is quick on his feet, but he's frustrating to watch when he moves in and out only to land like two punches that hardly even land.

    bj penn was so immobile, egar was able to easily get away w/ that tactic and land kicks, but against henderson, it wasn't effective (at least not enough to get the official nod).

    Didn't watch this fight, but picked Edgar to win via decision so the greatest reign in the history of the UPL is probably a dead reign walking. I assume at least one of the challengers went with Benson.
